What The Mandalorian Season 3 Could Have Looked Like Without The Book Of Boba Fett

The Book of Boba Fett fell under criticism for the way it heavily set up the future of The Mandalorian, which greatly contributed to the mixed reviews season 3 received. Halfway through The Book of Boba Fett season 1 is when Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin makes his triumphant return, though his story ends up dominating the storytelling space of Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett in a way that sees the titular character receive a whopping two minutes of screen time between two entire episodes. This not only negatively affected viewers’ outlook on The Book of Boba Fett, but it also set up The Mandalorian season 3 for failure – especially for those who hadn’t seen the spin-off series first.
